This one-day workshop is for people who want a first-time experience of Doushin Butoh. The essence of Doushin Butoh is “resonance,” an experience beyond idea or concept that can only be felt. In this class, students are guided in simple repetitive movements that we call “conditioning.” As students you will be guided into a movement meditation and experience the connection between your body, mind, and the universe.

Come and experience the power of Resonance!

Next Doushin Butoh Experience: Thursday, June 3, 6:30pm-8:00pm Central Time US

Tuition: $20

Beginning Doushin Butoh Workshop is designed to learn and experience the basic physical methods of Subbody Butoh Method and basic movements and meditation techniques of Spring Forest Qigong. It is a prerequisite for the Advanced Doushin Butoh Workshop.

This workshop will focus on the essential aspects of Doushin Butoh, such as quieting down your daily consciousness, creating movements that are novel and unique to the individual body, and resonating with everything around you.

Doushin Butoh Workshop is a group process and this workshop requires no previous dance experience. Anyone who would like to explore his or her hidden creative potentials is welcome!

Thursdays, 6:30 – 8:00pm

Summer Term 2021: June 10, 17, 24, July 1, 8, 15, 22, 29
